Following the appearance of the embattled Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Igbere TV reports that he has been docked by CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar as trial continued in the case of his alleged refusal to declare all his assets before the bureau in charge as head of the judiciary.
Igbere TV reports that this is the first time the CJN would appear physically for trial in the case brought against him by the federal government.
However, there was mild drama when Danladi sounding surprised that Onnoghen was standing shouted: “I thought I asked you to give him a chair to sit down.” The clerk responded that there is a chair there. Danladi tells the CJN: “My Lord, please sit.”
Laughter enveloped the tribunal as the chairman harassed the clerk over providing the CJN with a chair in the dock. This expression caused a loud stream of laughter in the courtroom. While Onnoghen says: “Don’t worry, I’ll sit when I’m tired” as he continues standing with his hands behind his back. Dressed in a sky blue shirt, a gold coloured tie and black suit.
